The Optibelt 5-B 4500 is a banded V-belt from the KB VB series, built for drives that use multiple V-belts in parallel. Before you fit this 4500 mm belt, a quick inspection of the drive and sheaves will help you get the most from the replacement.
Start by locking out the drive and checking each sheave groove for wear, rust, or debris. Worn grooves let the belt sit too deep, which leads to slip and heat. Misalignment between sheaves is another common cause of premature belt failure, so check that the sheaves are parallel and in line before you install the new belt.
Next, inspect the sheaves for nicks or burrs that can cut the belt edges. Clean the grooves and confirm that all sheaves are the correct profile for a B-section belt. Because this is a banded V-belt, the ribs are joined together; that construction helps keep the belt running as a unit on multi-groove drives.
When you are ready to order, send the part number 5-B 4500 and the quantity you need. If you are unsure whether this is the right belt for your drive, include the belt marking and a photo of the sheaves with your request. We carry Optibelt belts and can help you confirm the correct replacement.
